I read your article.[1] There was a standards war over CDMA and GSM. <br>
GSM ended up as the dominant mobile phone standard. It's not <br>
something new. There is usually two or more technologies competing <br>
against each other. A service provider which chooses the "wrong" <br>
technology ends up being at a disadvantage.<br>
<br>
I was chatting with someone from the West African region several year <br>
ago. The person mentioned that the recommendation which he got was <br>
to purchase a specific equipment to connect to the upstream <br>
provider. I commented that he doesn't have to purchase a specific <br>
make of equipment to run BGP.<br>

5G was sold as 1 ms latency magic. There is a 2018 article about <br>
latency over a 5G connection: <a href="https://www.senki.org/5g-latency-reality-checks/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.senki.org/5g-latency-reality-checks/</a><br>
